Chapter 11: Days in the Underworld (2)
Smash the ticket! Smash the ticket! Smash the ticket! )
Wu Zhi casually perfunctory him, seeing that his eyes flickered when he looked at him, it was clear that he didn't have any good intentions, and he didn't have time to concoct such a role when he was in a low mood, so he arched his hand and said: "Brother Du, brother still has something to do, let's leave first." ”
How could Steward Du let this "fat sheep" go so easily, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, seeing that you look preoccupied, I think there is something wrong with you recently, right?" He naturally thought that Wu Zhi was like this because he was rejected for marriage.
Wu Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and wanted to leave. Seeing that he was so faceless, the color on his face changed, but he immediately smiled and caught up with Wu Zhi, and said sideways: "Brother Mu, can my brother take you to relax?" This Hangzhou is a good place for many pastimes, and if you go there, the big things will disappear. ”
Wu Zhi looked at the smirk on his fat face, and felt helpless in his heart, did he look like a sheep? Why do individuals want to pinch themselves?
"I don't know what to do in Hangzhou? When my brother first came to Hangzhou, he heard that the scenery of Hangzhou was the best in the world, but he never had the opportunity to play. ”
Steward Du listened to his intentions, and his heart was overjoyed, and the fat on his fat face trembled with his smile, "What's so good about the scenery, that's the place where the sour literati are coquettish." My brother will take you to a good place to go and make sure that your sorrows are gone. As he spoke, he said to Ye Xiaorong, who was following behind: "Little Brother Ye, go back to the house, Brother Mu and I will go for a pastime." ”
Ye Xiaorong wanted to say something, but when he saw Steward Du's slightly threatening gaze, he hesitated for a moment, finally didn't speak, said hello to Wu Zhi, secretly squeezed his eyes at Wu Zhi, and bowed his hand to Steward Du before walking along Qingshi Street to the north of Yefu.
Steward Du commanded his subordinates, turned around and smiled Mimi and said to Wu Zhi: "Brother Mu, let's go, it just so happens that my brother is free today, if it is in the past, it is in vain to want to accompany my brother, who called our master's family a big business, and things are complicated." Brother, the housekeeper of the outer room, is in charge of dozens of people......"
Wu Zhi listened to his nagging all the way, and his mouth agreed. The heart said that look at your virtue, your master can't get better, Jin Dajian's case doesn't know how much your corrupt official has received from the Wang family, as an official who mentions some prison orders all the way, so careless of human life, this official is about to do it.
Steward Du didn't know that his master suddenly had an extremely terrifying opponent, and this opponent was the "fat sheep" he was trying to slaughter at this time. While his mouth was close to Wu Zhi, he led Wu Zhi to the outside of the city.
The sound of flute strings wafts from the paintings cruising slowly in the West Lake and the canopy with colorful sails and two lanterns hanging on the bow of the boat. The banners of the restaurants and song halls on both sides of the strait are swaggering, and they are lined up one after another. The pedestrians on the bank of the river are bustling, the BMW incense car is crisp and the smell of fat powder wafting in the air.
After getting out of the carriage, Wu Zhi frowned when he saw such a scene, thinking that what would he do with himself, he went to the Fengyue place for a long time, it was really boring, "Brother Du, my brother doesn't like this place of fireworks, forget it." ”
Steward Du said that he was really a reckless man, and he didn't understand Fenghua Xueyue, but don't worry, you just want to go to Fengliu Happy Lao Tzu won't take you there? Otherwise, how would Lao Tzu concoct you?
"Brother Mu, don't worry, my brother is not good at this, you just come with me." So saying, Lawuzhi went to the shore, got into a small boat, and gave a command, and the boatman weighed the bamboo boat, and the boat rowed towards the lake.
Turning around in all kinds of painting boats, and finally docked in front of a very gorgeous building ship, the building ship has three floors, and a string of exquisite silk lanterns cover the newly painted Zhulou Painting Pavilion, which looks magnificent and elegant. The hull of the building boat is strangely built, protruding from a wooden platform, slightly above the water, just enough to allow the boat to dock.
There were a few men in blue cloth shirts at the bow of the boat, and when they saw that a guest had arrived, they hurriedly greeted them, and Steward Du smiled and said, "Take our brother to the third floor." A few men listened to the eyes lit up, the attitude became more and more attentive, respectfully introduced the two into the cabin, as soon as they entered, a turbidity came to the face, the whole floor was opened, it was a wide hall, crowded with all kinds of characters, crowded, both the rich people in silk and satin, and the bitter haha of cloth shirts and hats, the hall was noisy with five and six shouts, scolding mothers, laughter, and crying were intertwined, and it seemed very noisy.
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be a gambling boat in this era, and the owner of this gambling boat was quite insightful. Speaking of which, the gambling house in Yanggu is much worse than here. Looking at the shouting gamblers, it seems that the casino atmosphere will always be so crazy no matter what era it is. Wu Zhi smiled slightly, and the sorrow in his heart decreased slightly, maybe he was a bastard, and what he liked was always these things that couldn't be put on the table.
The third floor seems to be similar to the design of the VIP rooms of later generations, and is divided into many private rooms. Wu Zhi and Steward Du were led into one of the rooms, well, the environment is really good, there are small and exquisite octagonal palace lamps hanging on the corners, and mahogany flower stands are placed at the two corners of the wall. A pot of spring orchid leaves are dripping green, exuding bursts of fragrance; Another pot of mountains and rivers is playing, and the peaks and peaks are uneven. On the red felt floor, there are eight openwork nanmu chairs sandwiched between sandalwood square tables.
Steward Du smiled: "Looking at Brother Mu's appearance, it seems that he likes this bite very much." He observed Wu Zhi's face all the way, and he was afraid that if Wu Zhi didn't like it, his thoughts would be in vain. Seeing Wu Zhi smiling all the way, he was relieved.
Wu Zhi said: "My brother is a rough man, and when he is fine, he often plays with a few dicks." ”
The guy next to him interjected: "Did the two officials start the game by themselves?" Or do you bet against the dealer in the market? ”
Du said: "My brothers and I started the game by ourselves, we just want to have fun, and we don't really come to bet on winning or losing." He smiled at Wu Zhi: "Brother Mu, what do you say?" ”
Of course, Wu Zhi agreed, "It's all up to my brother's arrangement." ”
The guy next to him rolled his eyes, the bet on each game on the third floor cannot be less than half a run, is this still called casual play? You two are really rich, but if only Tule played at home by himself, why did you come to our gambling house? If you start the game on your own, you can draw a percentage of money for each game.
Wu Zhi and Steward Du sat down on the Nanmu chairs on both sides of the sandalwood table, and the men brought the dice utensils, served tea and snacks, and retreated to the side to wait, also waiting for a share of the money for each game.
Steward Du grabbed the dice in the black porcelain bowl and threw it a few times at random, and said with a smile: "How are we playing?" ”
Wu Zhi said: "Let's compare the size!" Simply! ”
Steward Du smiled: "Brother is really a cheerful person!" Good! Let's compare the size! As he spoke, he took out a few Jiaozi from his arms, and took out one at random and put it in the center of the table, "Brother Mu is the fast son-in-law of Yefu Chenglong, and my brother can't lose your value when he plays with you, so let's take the money first." ”
Wu Zhi agreed, the two took turns to throw the dice to compare the size, and after playing a few handfuls, it was the turn of Steward Du, who didn't want him to accidentally touch the teacup when he picked up the dice, and the dice in his hand fell to the ground, Steward Du laughed and scolded: "Brother's luck is not very good today!" Looks like you've won, brother! As he spoke, he lowered his head and picked up the dice.
When the dice returned to Wu Zhi's hands, Wu Zhi smiled in his heart, such a clumsy method of changing dice can only be used in this era. It will be cut off in the Hereafter.
Wu Zhi was silent, and after playing for a while, the bets on both sides gradually increased. Steward Du suddenly threw a few big points in succession, and Wu Zhi lost several times in a row, losing more than a dozen times at once.
Steward Du smiled and said, "It seems that my luck is better than my brother, let's stop here today!" ”
Where is Wu Zhi willing to follow, and said: "Haven't you decided to win or lose yet?" How can you go? ”
Steward Du stretched out his hand and rubbed his fat face: "If you win too many brothers, it will seem that my brother is not righteous!" ”
Wu Zhi said: "There is no father and son in the casino, Brother Du doesn't have to worry too much, brother still understands these truths." As he spoke, he threw out a bet on the five joints.
Next, it is naturally that Du is in charge of things smoothly, and it is harmless to lose occasionally, and there are gradually a few Jiaozi left in front of Wu Zhi.
Steward Du looked at the thick stack of Jiaozi in front of him, and his heart was simply happy, I was afraid that there would be hundreds of times if he won, so he said: "Brother Mu, let's stop, it's just to have fun, see that you don't have much money in hand, let's go back!" ”
Wu Zhi looked like he was losing red eyes, and said loudly: "Brother Du also underestimates his brothers!" I still have some money on me! I'm going to be with my brother today! ”
Steward Du sighed: "Since my brother insists on this, my brother can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." As he spoke, he picked up the dice.
Wu Zhi rubbed his hands a few times, and blew a few more breaths into his palms, and there were words in his mouth. Steward Du smiled secretly in his heart, picked up Zhang Jiaozi from the table and handed it to the guy waiting next to him: "This is a reward for you!" He was afraid that his men would see what he had done, and it would be bad if he didn't reward him for making a noise. The guy thanked him happily and ran out to help the two of them get new tea.
Wu Zhi muttered for a while before stopping, and said: "Brother Du, it's too boring to play like this, brother has an exciting way to play, let's take the sub-dice, turn your head when you throw the dice, no one is allowed to look at it, let the guy cover the color bowl with a cloth after throwing, and then we bet again, you can choose to open or not open when betting, if you feel lucky, you can keep following......" said that the rules of the later generations of Zakin flowers when the card was covered and Du Steward explained in detail.
Hearing this, Steward Du pondered for a while, and felt that this was an opportunity to squeeze Wu Zhi dry, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Wu Zhi said again: "In this case, we must ask a Chinese person to supervise it, so as not to cause another incident." He smiled at the guy and said, "But it's not that I can't believe you!" If there is really a Chinese person, the loser will have nothing to say. ”
The man said in his heart that it was the best, if you don't find someone to testify, then you will win or lose, and when I go to the cloth, then I will not be wronged. immediately smiled and said, "The little one is going to invite the most famous Chinese in our gambling house to come over." After saying that, he turned around and went in a hurry.
After waiting for the tea, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and the guy ran in first, opened the door curtain, and smiled externally: "Miss, this is it!" ”
Where the door curtain was raised, Shi Shiran walked in the two of them, Wu Zhi Haoxuan didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth, and the middle-aged man walking behind was nothing, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a neutral face, he looked like that kind of honest and pertinent character. But the "eldest lady" in the mouth of the guy who walked in front is too much like a young lady. It doesn't seem to be very old, and the body under the purple skirt is also slim, but when I look up, my fluffy hair is messy, scattered like straw, and I look sleepy-eyed, yawning as I walk, I walked in and looked at Wu Zhi and the others a few times, and said, "Is it just that they want to play these new tricks?" Hey, interesting! "The voice is slightly hoarse, with a lazy taste. As he spoke, he walked over to the sandalwood table and sat lazily between the two.
